[pianotech] Damper leak

[John Ross]

How do you think, cutting the felt off, and reglueing, using the wires as a guide to get the position correct.
I am thinking of bi-chords.
Or would resurfacing the felt with a sandpaper paddle.

  Hi,
  Yesterday I serviced a Gulbransen upright with leaky dampers.
  Spotting plastic damper assemblies, my usual damper bending tools were something that might have caused the 40 plus plastic to break 
  so another method of getting the dampers to seat properly was used.
  I actually tried two ways and quickly discarded my wire bending pliers
  as a poor choice in favor of ???????????????? 

  What would you have done?
